Chapter 132: Cairo Sheds Blood Again Li Feng's reinforcements arrived

Liu Yun glanced at the telegram and smiled slightly, and handed it to Ouyang He, "Our Lord Sun has opened a killing ring in Cairo again!" ”

Ouyang He read the telegram and said, "It seems that the matter in Cairo is a trouble. However, Sun Daren and his forces had no problem dealing with some of the mobs there, and the Ottoman army was also there. In particular, there are more than 5,000 Janissaries in Cairo, which are the elite of the Ottoman Empire! ”

"I think, it's really not possible to use force to build power!" Chen Yufeng said, "Don't worry, they can't suffer!" What to do, Sun Chuanting should be a person who knows what to do! ”

After reading the telegram, Zhang Zhimu said: "In my opinion, the Ottoman Janissaries should be forced to play some role." We bought there, and they should give it to us! ”

Cairo and Egypt had not only 5,000 Ottoman Janissaries, but many others. It was only because the Mamluks were divided between the various parties, and in order to avoid major conflicts, the Ottoman army was stationed in some and major cities. Where can the smart Sun Chuanting not give full play to their role.

After killing those **, great monks and lords, Sun Chuanting sent his own officials and some Yaogang soldiers, plus some Mongolian cavalry, to take the Ottoman officials and Ottoman army officers and soldiers to various places to take over.

Originally, Sun Chuanting wanted to keep the murder as secret as possible for more time, but the entourage of these murdered people stopped doing it. They did not wait for their master to come out of the Pasha Mansion, and these attendants did not leave the gate of the Pasha Mansion without saying anything. They were all the most trusted cronies of their masters, and some of them even came with their sons and brothers. The Mamluk cavalry who served as escorts were also leaders in martial arts, and they were absolute cronies. They had sensed that the situation was very bad, and they were told that their master was in a meeting at the Pasha Mansion and asked them to go back first. Where do they believe? They all said that they would never leave if they didn't see the master. In the end, it was the guards who came out of the Pasha Mansion and drove them away, and the guards around the Pasha Mansion were arranged far away, and they were not allowed to approach. Because the dead bodies had to be sent away at night.

It's impossible to keep such a thing completely secret. The next day, Sun Chuanting and the others sent people out of Cairo, and they could not always refuse to allow the officials in the Pasha Mansion to go home, and after telling them to keep it secret, they were allowed to go home. In this way, it is difficult to keep the news of the murder in the Pasha Mansion secret.

The retinue who heard the news were anxious and surrounded the Pasha Mansion. Originally, there were more than 10,000 people in these retinues, and the number of people in Cairo who followed and heckled was even greater.

Sun Chuanting said to the envoy: "Your Excellency, I originally wanted to wait until all our people have gone to various places to take over before announcing this matter. It seems that we can't wait for that time. ”

"Alas! You shouldn't kill like that! The envoy was obviously still dissatisfied with Sun Chuanting's approach.

Sun Chuanting was also unwilling to kill people, but if he didn't kill these people, the practices and ideas of the Yaogang people would not be implemented at all. Judging from these reactions to being killed, Sun Chuanting felt that the killing was too right. If they are allowed to go back and organize people to confront themselves, things will be even more troublesome.

Pasha asked anxiously beside him, "What about those people outside?" ”

Li Kui, who seemed very calm, said lightly: "It's the most worry-free to kill!" ”

"No, no, don't kill again!" The envoy didn't want to see his *** brother bleed again.

Sun Chuanting said to Li Kui: "General Li, order the city gate to be closed." Then it was announced to the outsiders that their master refused to obey the Ming Dynasty because he refused to carry out the orders of the Ottoman Sultan. It has been rectified on the spot. They were ordered to return to their own places and not to leave Cairo without permission. Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ”

"That's it!" Li Kui waved his hand and came over to a staff officer, "Do you understand what Lord Sun said?" ”

"Got it!"

"Go ahead!"

"Yes!"

The staff officer went out to set it up.

The envoy asked, "When are you going to let those people out there?" ”

"In two days! Wait until our people go to their homes before they do! Sun Chuanting said, "However, I think we probably don't have to wait until this day!" Please ask the Pasha to mobilize all your troops, and the people outside will definitely make trouble today!" ”

"Good!" Pasha also understood what Sun Chuanting meant.

The envoy glanced at Pasha in disgust, and said nothing. Because now Pasha is like an official in the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting will do whatever he says, and he will no longer ask him about this envoy at all.

After a while, Li Kui's staff officers and Pasha both came back and said that the army was ready.

Sun Chuanting asked: "The city gate and the riverside are blocked, okay?" ”

Pasha said: "The riverside is full of our soldiers!" ”

The staff officer said, "The gates are closed!" ”

Li Kui said to Sun Chuanting: "In this way, we can close the door and beat the dog!" ”

"Don't let them jump off the wall in a hurry!" Sun Chuanting said.

"Hehe, I'm afraid they won't be in a hurry now!" Li Kui said with a smile.

"Hmmm! All right! Let's get out! Sun Chuanting said to the Ottoman envoy.

As soon as the gate of the courtyard of the Pasha Mansion opened, a group of kiln guards rushed out with guns in hand, and set up a cordon in front of the door. Sun Chuanting came to the door with Li Kui, Ottoman Te, and Pasha. Someone had already set up a table in front of it with a microphone on it.

Everyone who was waiting outside in a hurry retreated and gave way to a vacant lot.

Pasha came to the table and said into the microphone: "Now I declare that all the **, great monks, and lords of the former Ottoman Egyptian provinces refuse to accept the orders of His Majesty the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and oppose the governance of Egypt by the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Now that he has been corrected on the spot, his body has been sent to the beach for incineration! You are now commanded to return to your place in Cairo and not to leave Cairo without permission. Violators will be killed! ”

Pasha's words were like a ** exploding in the crowd. Although the entourage below had received the news from various sources, they still did not want to believe that this was true, preferring to believe that it was a rumor. But Pasha's words shattered their last illusions.

"Kill them!" I don't know who shouted from below. These enraged people all pulled out their scimitars and rushed towards Sun Chuanting.

"Calm down! Calm down! Pasha shouted incessantly.

But these retinues, who have lost their minds, can still listen.

The Ottoman envoy knew what the outcome would be, and closed his eyes in pain.

As the men approached, the Kiln Guard soldiers opened fire with automatic rifles in their hands. The machine guns mounted on the courtyard wall also opened fire.

"Bang Bang!" "Da Da Da!"

Gunshots rang out.

In the sound of gunfire, a bloody mist rose in the angry crowd, and people also fell one by one.

Many of these people had fought with their masters, but they had never seen a weapon so powerful. The angry crowd was quickly replaced by horror!

Pasha shouted through the loudspeaker at the right time: "If you want to live, squat on the ground immediately, hold your head in your hands!" ”

There was no one who was not afraid of death, and when they heard Pasha's shout, they all squatted down and held their heads.

Blood from hundreds of corpses began to trickle down the stone floor, filling in the cracks between the stones. The smell of blood soon became stronger.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Pasha shouted, "If you want to save your life, obey our orders, leave slowly, and return to your own residence." You are not allowed to leave Cairo without permission. Remember, there is no forgiveness for violators! Well, now it's time to go! ”

The people outside took the lead and began to slowly leave. A lot of people just left here and went on a rampage. They really didn't expect this to be the result.

Sun Chuanting left these people in Cairo to give them some time to go out and take over them. Otherwise, when they go back, they will tell the house the news that their master has been killed. Those people are prepared, and things are in trouble.

After solving this matter, Sun Chuanting immediately ordered notices to be posted everywhere, informing the people that from now on, the land of the lords, officials, and monks should be equally distributed to the people for cultivation, and the land rent collected was only one-third of their original rent, and the land rent was not collected in the first year, and it was halved in the second year, and the rent was collected in three years.

Such news is simply unimaginable to the people, let alone unbelievable. But they want it to be true.

The second was for the Mamluk cavalry, who would have problems without a lord to feed them.

Sun Chuanting informed these Mamluk cavalrymen that those who were willing to obey the laws of the Ming Dynasty could join the Ming Dynasty army. To join the army of the Ming Dynasty, you need to sign an agreement with the state, and after joining the army, the army will have a certain amount of allowance in addition to food, housing, and equipment. If you are injured and cannot continue to serve in the army, the state is responsible for arranging pensions. Those who retire and have nowhere to go are also provided for by the state. The state will build military nursing homes according to high standards. Mamluk cavalry who did not want to join the army, or were not fit to join the army. If you wish, you can allocate land for cultivation in the same way as civilians. Unified arrangements are made in countries that are unable to work.

This was very important for the Mamluk cavalry, because they were bought and castrated from childhood, had no family, and old age was the most worrying thing for them.

Sun Chuanting and the people they sent out to take over the places were kiln gang soldiers, Mongol cavalry, Ottoman soldiers, and kiln gang officials, and whenever they went, they first announced to the families of the lords that their masters had been executed for not carrying out the orders of His Majesty the Ottoman Sultan. Now the land and property here are owned by the state. It was announced that slavery would henceforth be abolished, and that both Mamluk and slaves would be treated as civilians.

Many Mamluk cavalrymen had mixed feelings, they had been asked to be loyal to their masters since they were young, and now that their masters had been killed, they should go to avenge their masters, but most Mamluk cavalrymen seemed to be happier with civilian treatment in the future. He was also very interested in the treatment of the Ming Dynasty army.

After brewing, the Mamluk cavalry also returned to thinking as a normal person. In the past, the master did not allow them to think too much, they were just tools for fighting for the master, similar to the horses raised by the master. Now you can also choose to join the army of the Ming Dynasty to earn an allowance, and the most important thing is that you don't have to worry about the future anymore. If you hurt the state, you will be in charge of the old, and you will still enjoy the status of a civilian.

They signed up one after another to join the Yaogang Army.

Within a week, Sun Chuanting got the news that most of the areas had been successfully taken over. As soon as those lords died, their family's Mamluk cavalry was also scattered, and many asked to join the Ming Dynasty army. Tens of thousands of people have signed up now.

Sun Chuanting discussed with Li Kui and decided to leave 20,000 men behind to form two Mamluk cavalry divisions. When Li Feng of the First Cavalry Army arrived, they handed over these two divisions to them, and they sent officers at all levels to manage them. These Mamluks were familiar with the situation here, and they were a force to be relied on to govern Egypt in the future.

Sun Chuanting's series of practices after they arrived in Cairo, although some of them made the Ottoman envoys a little dissatisfied, but he still admired Sun Chuanting's five bodies. Although the Ottoman Empire was also very strong, the Mamluk lords in the face of Egypt still had to be accommodating, and it should be said that the lower power in Egypt was not in the hands of the Ottoman Empire at all. But Sun Chuanting has only been here for a short time, and he has grasped the main point and removed the foundation of these Mamluks.

Sun Chuanting was very optimistic about this Pasha in Egypt and found an opportunity to talk to him.

Once, Pasha came to Sun Chuanting's office. Sun Chuanting made him the best tea.

Drinking tea, Sun Chuanting asked, "Lord Pasha, what can you do when you return to Istanbul?" ”

"Alas! I don't want to think about it! Pasha sighed and said, "I am in the position of Pasha, and I will do my best to make money, but there is no way. In order to get this position, I spent almost all the family business left by my ancestors. Because there are so many people in Istanbul who are optimistic about this location! All of them have a backstage than me, and I just fought for all the family to win! But it also made the house empty! If I go back to Istanbul, I don't know if there is a good location. Can all my belongings be exchanged for a seat? ”

"What do you think of Egypt after our takeover?" Sun Chuanting asked.

"Then you don't have to ask! I really didn't expect you to use such clever means to stabilize your rights. In addition, you also have the powerful Ming Dynasty as the backing, and no force can do anything to you! In particular, I heard that you are going to build hospitals, shopping malls, schools, and movie theaters here, which are all good things that I have never heard of. The people of Cairo will be blessed with you! Pasha said with some excitement.

"Have you ever thought about staying in Cairo and continuing to do something for the people of Cairo? Of course, as our officer, you will be treated very well! ”

"What? Do I stay in Cairo? The Pasha was clearly not prepared for this.

"The future of Cairo is as you described, and the prospects are very good! Living conditions will get better and better! Although it can't be like our kiln all at once, I can guarantee that the conditions will be much better than in Istanbul! Sun Chuanting continued.

"Slow! Slow! Pasha's mind suddenly turned a little, "You mean, you want me to stay in Egypt as an official of your Ming Dynasty?" ”

"That's right! That's what it means! Sun Chuanting said, "You are familiar with the situation in Cairo. I think you have what it takes to do something for Cairo! As long as it is good for the people, we dare to use it no matter who you are! ”

"Oops! Master Sun, I really admire you! But it's too big for me to think about! Pasha couldn't accept it at once.

"There's no hurry!" After speaking, Sun Chuanting introduced to him the salary and treatment of kiln officials, as well as some requirements.

Pasha solemnly said to think about it.

When Li Feng came to Cairo with the First Cavalry Army, Li Kui met them on the dock of the Nile.

The cavalry were all Li Kui's original subordinates, and Li Feng was Li Kui's subordinate. Although Li Feng and the others arrived, Li Kui was very happy, and he couldn't help but scold: "Damn, did you come here on a rabbit?" How did it get there! ”

Being scolded by Li Kui, Li Feng was very happy, "Commander! (Li Kui was the deputy commander of the cavalry) We didn't dare to delay coming over when we received the order. I heard that you are here, how dare I slack off?"

"Little bunny, you can talk!" Although Li Kui scolded in his mouth, he was very happy in his heart.

"I heard that the Mamluk cavalry here is very powerful, is there still a fight?" Li Feng asked.

"Humph! You can't even catch up with the heat when you eat! Li Kui said, "However, we are going to collect 20,000 Mamluk cavalry, and we want to form two cavalry divisions, and the officers will be from you, and these two divisions will also be under your control first!" ”

"Alas! No more fighting! Li Feng said with some disappointment, "We have been running all the way and want to fight." ”

"Don't be too disappointed, we're only halfway there. It's good for you to come out and see it! Li Kui said, "You are here, so that the navy can be busy with its own business!" ”

When Li Feng followed Li Kui to Pasha Mansion, he saw Sun Chuanting, and after being polite, Sun Chuanting said, "It's great that you guys are here!" The trolls can leave. ”

He turned to Li Kui again and said, "Commander Mu Yi has sent a telegram." They looked at the entire eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and decided that Alexandria was the most suitable port for military use. They have already unloaded a lot of reinforced concrete there. ”

"It seems that the water army is really leaving?" Li Kui asked.

"Yes!" Sun Chuanting said, "They received information that the Francos (Spain) were going to ambush them on the way back!" When we came, due to the weather, Francis' fleet did not wait for our fleet! ”

"Didn't you decide to leave some ships in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea?" Li Feng asked.

"Yes, but all the ships are to send our fleet out of the Strait of Gibraltar and back. It's not just the Francos (Spain) who knows that our fleet is coming, but the countries of the West that know that we are coming. We send it to the door, can they not think of retaliation? Sun Chuanting said, "Therefore, we have to be ready to fight." ”

"Humph! Commander Mu and the others have replenished ammunition and coal water, and they are not afraid of fighting. I'll show them this time, and we're calling! Li Kui shook his fist.

"We can't control the affairs of the navy. Now that we have enough troops, choose an airfield location and hurry up to repair the airfield! Sun Chuanting said.
